convert time to double

[Pramod P Deore]

Hi all I want to convert time to double as if suppose now time is 11hr and 40min . then I want to convert this into double as 11.40 how to do this?

GregorianCalendar now1 = new GregorianCalendar();
int hr = now1.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int min = now1.get(Calendar.MINUTE);

Is it okay? any better solution?

GregorianCalendar now1 = new GregorianCalendar();
		double hr = now1.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
		double min = now1.get(Calendar.MINUTE)*(0.01);
		double dd = hr+min;
		System.out.println (dd);

That would work, but I wonder why you would want to do that.

11.40 isn't an accurate representation of 11:40. You'd need to divide the minutes by 60, not 100, giving 11.66666666.... If you only need it for displaying use SimpleDateFormat instead.
